Sunday saw a wet and blustery afternoon on Pittwater which challenged all of the teams for the final day of racing at the ‘ecostore Youth Match Racing Regatta’.
The prestigious ‘Harken International Youth Match Racing Regatta’ was postponed for 2021 due to interstate and international teams being unable to travel, hence the ‘ecostore Youth Match Racing Regatta’ was born to support the local teams and clubs.
Winds varied from 8-25kts at times with 30 degree wind shifts across the course.
Will Sargent and team came from 1 point down to eventually defeat Alistair Read and team 3-1 in the finals. Read was never out of touch with multiple lead changes where even small mistakes were capitalised on.
Congratulations to all of the teams and thankyou to event sponsor ecowash (Boatwash.com.au), as well as our volunteer race committee and umpires.
